If I'm remembering my history, South Carolina was established as a thriving, successful colony but there was an expansive wasteland to the North that no one wanted. It was eventually used as a dumping ground for hippies, wannabes and guys who can't find ducks without asking others where they are at. Since no one would lay claim to it, and the fact that it was touching South Carolina it was eventually named North Carolina as the simpletons who lived there didn't have the creativity necessary to come up with their own name.

Why is there an East Carolina University in North Carolina? That place must be full of dimwits. I'd vote that one, but tapatalk doesn't let me vote. It was probably designed by someone from North Carolina.
